Does HN have an open source code?
I am looking to create a localized news site and wondering if HN has an open source code which can be used to build the same. Possibly, not the latest version of codes being used on HN at present but a version or two older? Help?!

- ilconsigliere 15y agoHere is some background on the status of the code (from about a year ago) - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1833010 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1833010 Here's a brief explanation of how to get it up and running - https://github.com/nex3/arc/blob/master/how-to-run-news https://github.com/nex3/arc/blob/master/how-to-run-news I had arc.news up and running a few months ago. The code is quite outdated but has all the essentials to get your own HN site. Truthfully, it'd be very nice so get a crack at some more recent code. Personally, I'd love to use arc.news to run a closed news aggregator/discussion site for a close group of friends.
